The famous Tevye refrain from Fiddler on the Roof, with its playful dibble-dabble scat singing, used in memes about dreaming of wealth and luxury.

This short clip captures the instantly recognisable scat refrain from Tevye's daydream in Fiddler on the Roof, where he imagines life as a wealthy man. A warm, theatrical male voice bounces through a rapid, nonsense patter of dibble-dabble syllables over a jaunty, klezmer-flavoured melody, rising and falling with comic exaggeration. It sounds cheeky, wistful and a little mischievous, as if the singer is already spending money he does not have. Dropped into a video, it instantly signals wishful thinking, turning an ordinary moment of wanting something expensive into a funny, musical fantasy.

The song comes from Fiddler on the Roof, the 1964 Broadway musical about Tevye, a poor milkman in a Russian village who dreams of a richer life. Written by Jerry Bock and Sheldon Harnick, If I Were a Rich Man became one of the show's best-known numbers, later reaching a wider audience through the 1971 film. Its nonsense refrain stuck in popular memory because it is easy to imitate and instantly funny out of context, so creators now reuse the short clip for wishful-thinking memes about money, shopping and luxury lifestyles.
